Mother Courage and Her Children

Bertolt Brecht’s Mother Courage and Her Children receives a new treatment as part of the 2014 season of the Stratford Festival. Governor General’s Lifetime Achievement Award winner Martha Henry directs this production.

Mother Courage is a poor woman living in the 17th century and struggling to take care of her three children. Despite her constant losses, Mother Courage never gives up or loses her dignity. This play was written by Brecht in 1939 in response to the Nazi’s rise to power.
